Anthony’s first paid position was headmistress of the girls department of Canajoharie Academy in 1846. During this time she was deeply troubled by the fact that women received much lower wages than their male counterparts for equal work. She returned to the family farm in Rochester New York when Canajoharie Academy closed in 1849. At this time she began to be fully involved in reform work. She was introduced to Elizabeth Cady Stanton in 1851 who had played a key role in organizing the Seneca Falls convention in 1848, which was the first women’s rights convention in the United States. The two of them formed a lifelong friendship and ever after were constant partners in the battle for women’s rights and social justice. Their relationship was complimentary: Stanton did the writing and came up with ideas while Anthony excelled at organizing and delivering speeches. Her methods of raising public awareness and building grassroots support for social causes are still in use by political parties today.

Mary Maloney has just bludgeoned her husband to death with a leg of lamb. A rather unusual and brutal crime to say the least. Is she criminally responsible? The most common defense in murder trials is the insanity defense, which states that the defendant is not criminally responsible due to insanity. Could Mary be insane? Well, the answer is probably not. According to www.brandongaille.com , 88% of insanity defendants are found to be clinically “sane” by the state. I think Mary Maloney is a criminal, who is aware of, and responsible for her actions due to the fact that Mary attempts to manipulate the order of events, Mary attempts to give the officers alcohol, and Mary has the murder weapon disposed of. All of this evidence portrays malicious intent and that she understands the gravity of the situation.

Hi Marsha, and thank you so much for your response! I agree with your theory about Mary exercising three or more days a week. I recommended five days, because at a minimum of thirty minutes each day and eating a 1800 calorie well balanced meal, this would shed off, at least a pound a week versus anything less than that. Nonetheless, I also agree that each persons nutritional needs are different. What works for one, may not work for another person. Great point! What foods would you recommend that Mary stay away from to decrease her battle with high blood pressure?
